I'm thinking about cancelling this blog since I never use it much anymore, and maybe starting up a blog on Gaiaonline. Meh, not sure. But today is my first day of school and I have a few minutes before I have to leave so... it's a possibility. Ja!

Btw.. going to the Pacfic Media Expo on sunday was fantastic and just what I needed. Not only was it a nice taste of cosplay good-ness that I've been too busy to enjoy for so long but meeting with Moriyama Daisuke was fantastic *__* I never really go to panels but we practically went just for his. The best thing about it though was that he was really happy to see us there, cosplaying as his main characters. (I was dying in all the leather and heat, but it was worth it!) We didn't win anything from the raffle, but as we were debating whether we should ask for a picture, he actually [had the translator] ask us if he could get a picture with us. That was fantastic, actually having him want to get a picture with us. After that we went directly to wait in line for the autograph signing. Since we wanted it to be more memorable, Kim got her pocketwatch signed and I had my horns signed. Guess I'm not wearing those again... but it's okei! Stev even got my shitijiki signed for me.
And if all that wasn't great enough, the next day Kim's friend Alex (who was our Chrno, I was Josua and she was Rosette) told us that he had asked for a mini Chrno sketch, then the woman had run after him, he talked to the manager and Moriyama-sensei wanted to do something special just for the three of us. So, instead of the simple sketches that the raffle winners got, he's making full color sketches just for us. WAI!! I'm melting into a happy little puddle of Jenna-goo again just thinking of it. When I get my costume perfected more, I wanna take a picture (maybe with the sketch?) and find a way to send it to him. Moriyama-sensei is so fantastic and nice, it's really great to know that he enjoyed our cosplaying so much. Hunyaa, sou happy!
I really need to study for my finals, but somehow I can't bring myself to start on Math... my resolve is defective, it's not fair. =_=;

Omg... Joy! Last night was definately one of the best experiences of my life. I got to see the LA Philharmonic Orchestra playing Final Fantasy music! I about cried when the played the first song... and every other song. Then when they did the medly at the end with the Chocobo theme I was a happy little puddle of Jenna-goo. Then it went into the end theme that plays at the end of FFIV and I actually cried from the joy of it. Huge standing ovation... I think we all rather surprised the orchestra. Then! Nobuo Uematsu himself went up along with Amano and.. uh the creater guy whose name I forgot and they talked and it was sou snazzy!! *___* Then we were appluading so much they had the best possible encore.. the Sephiroth theme from FFVII! *___* Pure joy, yessum! And eariler I was interviewed by someone from Square-Enix and got a poster, so Lucas was really jealous and ended up snagging one from the displays after the show. Stev got one too and I grabbed an extra one for Heidi since her mother was being neurotic and didn't let her go to the concert (even though it was her birthday present). And! I got my program signed by the guy who voiced Tidas! Granted, I didn't care much for the english voices but.. wai! Autograph!! Oh the joy.. that concert has made me sou happy.. and now puddle of Jenna-goo needs to ooze her way to school... ja!

Spring break was.... mraa. Thursday after Caesar Chavez day we intended to go bowling after work, but Rie couldn't come, Heidi's friend got in an accident so she was with her, and Ken got pissy for vague reasons and we went home without doing anything feeling mildly depressed. Well, not mildly because I pretty much was crying from my plans going to hell and Ken being mad at me, but he called and we talked and things got better. Friday we went to see Hellboy and then mini-golfing. I guilted Heidi into going, but she enjoyed it so it's all good. It was fun times, though my legs hurt to walk after from playing so much DDR. The weekend was pretty bland.
Tuesday I went out to California City to visit Amanda. I'm still not sure how I feel about that trip, really. My relationship with her has been going to hell ever since James came along.. probably the main reason why I want to hate him sometimes. I don't hate him, but damn if I'm not tempted, so I just settle for my neutral not-really-caring position. But anyhu, relation been going to hell.. I've known it, I've cried over it, I didn't want to admit it. So this weekend was fun most of the time but overall kinda painful in that it was even more apparent how much distance is between us now. On the last night we were up past four in the morning talking. I actually admitted how I feel about everything to her... and the really shitty thing is that she knows it too. I wasn't exaggerating or jealous or anything. I was right. And it really fucking sucks. I came home and cried for hours the next day. Despite that we went out and had times of fun, I can't say I enjoyed my spring break because it was painful and depressing. Hell, I'm still pretty depressed, actually.
I think I was going to go on to be up to date, but thinking of spring break depressed me again. I'll finish some other time.

Wow, today was another day of fun. Well first we had to go meet Chatel-sensei by school and go with her out to Gardena, but she treated us to lunch first. I had some Inari and snitched most of Stev's sushi. After that we went to this knitting/origami shop to see about the cranes and disigns for the framing and whatnot. I can't believe we have to make 1,000 cranes... one thousand! And I'm in charge of it, somehow made the honorary origami bitch. We kind of got an idea for the layout design for it and got some of the papers. If I was a nicer person I'd probably actually care that we're doing this to give to the children at the hospital, but I'm busy and I didn't get asked about it so much as told we're going to do it in a way that's hard to refuse.. dammit. Oh well. After that Stev and I went to Little Tokyo to see if we could find some metallic green origami, but no luck. We ended up just buying manga in Kinokuniya instead ^^; After that we came back to my place and played Naruto for a few hours. I sou royally kicked his ass, it was great.
After that we headed over to Sarah's for a little get-together she planned since we didn't have school. She made this awesome delicious macaroni and cheese and I about died for cheese-heaven. Sou good. And homemade icecream sandwiches. She made chocolate cookies with white cholocate chips in them and made icecream sandwiches... omg, we (Stev, Rye and I) started making plans to ambush her boyfriend and run away with her. I pretty much was plotting to run away and marry her. But we also played Rummikube(I'm not sure I spelled that right...) for a long time. I love playing Rummi, but playing it with little cube pieces was great. I must buy this game now. Pretty much I was laughing hysterically the whole night and overall just enjoying myself immensely. It's been a long time since I hung out with friends and had such a good time doing nothing. Well, almost nothing. But I want to do it again, definately.
It really sucks that I have to go to school again tomorrow, but we have another fun day planned. Tonight was unexpectedly fantastic, so on that note I'm going to bed. Ja na!

I can't wait until spring break... I really need a break. School is driving me even further into insanity. Tomorrow is going to be hell since I have a Korean test on a chapter with 30-45 vocabulary words that I don't know yet. Then I have a paper due in Psychology and will of course have to write notes, so by the time I get to English for the in-class writing assignment that is my mid-term my arm is already going to be tired. Dammit. And, naturally, knowing me I haven't started my paper yet and haven't even touched my Korean book. I should have done my paper yesterday, but I was distracted with trying to exorcise my computer so it would stop playing random musing clips and then went out to Arcade Infinity with Kimi and Jo. It was much better to see them and hang out again than agonize in my room and still not be getting any work done. I need to spend more time with them, and I'm glad I got to see Jo while she was here.
I'm tired still... and anything else I thought I was going to post has left my head. So... goodbai!

I have not updated in a looong time. I got back, what? Two months ago, give or take a few days? Wow I'm pathetic. And even though I could just ramble on and on incessantly for a while about everything in the past few months, I don't think I will. So hopefully this will be a moderately short rant, all things considered.
As far as things that have happened since I got back... My grandmother died just before school started, my great-grandfather died a couple weeks ago - which is actually the more depressing death since I actually do have fond memories of him. I broke down a little bit the next day before school.
Speaking of school, it's evil. I know I'm the idiot who decided to take 21-units to try and get all my classes out of the way "on time" but still, it wouldn't be so bad if my teachers didn't suck. My Korean teacher doesn't teach us so much as tell us to go home and study and then we review//drill everything we should have learned on our own. It really sucks. My Psychology teacher, Amy Sweetman, is cool though, she's about the only thing that brings me to school on mondays since that class is then followed by my horrible English class. I swear if we have one more religious discussion in that class I really will walk out this time and talk to the dean. I'm getting extremely pissed about having to read so many religious stories, I'm not there for Bible study and she has no right to say that in order to understand all Western literature you need to know the Bible. My ass. I can understand literature just fine without devling into the Bible and the life stories of the authors *rants... raves a bit.. forces self to stop* Suffice it to say, I really hate my english class. Math isn't terribly enjoyable either, actually. The teacher isn't bad.. I guess, but somehow I don't feel like I'm learning anything in the class.. which was rather demonstrated on how I got a 70% on my first exam and probably failed the second (seeing is how I guessed on half of the first page and left three of the six other questions empty). I'm so screwed and my gpa is going to hell in a handbasket. With flowers. And a note card reading "sincerely yours". And I have that other "tutoring" class I have to deal with.. which probably wouldn't be so bad if the woman wasn't so aggrivating and condecending... she talks to us like tutoring is the BEST thing in the world and since we're doing this we obviously must agree and also like we're five... I really hate how she talks to us like we're simple children. At least my Cultural Anthropology class is enjoyable. Professor Klein is incredibly fun and plays around in class, even about the fact that sometimes she's hardly coherent after working at four campuses that day. She at least makes it worth having to be at school for fourteen hours on wednesdays. Then I also work in language lab.. and there's pr0n b01... Gawd I hate him. And I don't really want to talk about school anymore.
What else... Valentine's came and past, but we did it the Japanese way since Ken had no clue what to do for me, so I got control of it and he got to do White's Day. Another thing I hate about school : I don't get to see Ken much. I'm at school ten-fourteen hours monday-thursday, I work even on fridays, and then I'm exhausted on weekends and can barely convince myself to get up and go somewhere. Oh well. The point is I'm too deprived of my Ken-chan and that makes me even more cranky along with all the school bullshit. Oh! And since I hadn't archived yet to post and her tagboard never let's me post anything, a very belated Happy Birthday to Kimi-chan!
You know... I think there was something else I was going to post, but I can't remember.. Oh yeah! I got sucked back into the addiction that is Ragnarok Online. I don't really play on the Chaos server anymore and mostly stick to my characters on Loki. Besides, I'm closer to rich on Loki since I already bought the Emperium for a guild and bought my own mocking muffler... I do like this server so much more, somehow, and the enconomy is just a little less screwed, too. But now, if there was anything else I was going to say it will have to wait since I don't remember anymore. Ja ne~!
